About this listen
In the inaugural episode of Beyond the Field, host David Endres, '82, sits down with Mitch Canham, one of the most influential figures in Oregon State baseball history. From his days as a championship-winning catcher to becoming the Pat Casey Head Baseball Coach, Canham reflects on the mentors, moments and mindset that shaped his journey.
Canham opens up about growing up in Washington, finding Oregon State almost by accident, and how a belief-driven culture carried the Beavers to back-to-back national championships in 2006 and 2007. He shares powerful stories from Omaha, the lessons Pat Casey instilled in his players and why accountability, gratitude and service remain at the core of the program today.
The conversation also explores modern challenges facing college athletics—from NIL and recruiting to leadership in an era of constant change—while underscoring what hasn't changed: the importance of people, purpose and doing things the right way.
This episode offers an inside look at Beaver baseball, leadership under pressure and what it truly means to represent Oregon State—long after the final out.
